We certainly do have too few scribes. It does concern me a little that potentially someone who has friends who are scribes could get 5-10 scrolls and someone who doesn't might get 0.
I doubt that anyone has done a translation of the Duke/Duchess scroll into Greek. Or the Dolphin into Hebrew. But certainly the translations that we do have should be posted.
We haven't given the scrolls immediately to the recipient after they were presented to the Crown and populace for several years. The scrolls *are* put on display and the recipients are asked to picked them up at the end of the day. It would help if everyone would remember to return those scroll carriers that Countess Luciana made. We've pretty much run out of them. Displaying scrolls at outdoor events would be pretty much a bad idea. (Melting seals? Food dropped on them? Blowing in the wind?)
I've purged the list to get rid of non-active people but that's no solution. We've got to get more active scribes. I feel strongly that foregoing presenting scrolls in court will not gain more scribes. Visbility for scribes is extremely important.
